Since Pearl Harbor
Great changes have taken place in this country since
Pearl Harbor. New and unprecidented economic controls have
been imposed. A considerable proportion of the nation’s man-
power has either entered military service or left peace indus-
try for war industry'. Very heavy increases in taxation have
been applied to industries and individuals. In short, we have
definitely moved in the direction of a “total war economy.”
But, as many authorities are pointing out, this is only the
beginning—and a comparatively small beginning at that. In-
side the next year, unless the world military situation changes
radically and unexpectedly, the adjustments that will take
place in American life will be absolutely revolutionary.
The manpower situation is a case in point. High selective
service officials have recently said flatly that within about a
year, the great majority of able-bodied men under 45 and
over 18 will be in the Army, the Navy, the Coast Guard or the
Marines. Already the nation’s reserve of 1-A men is about
exhausted and in many area draft boards are calling married
men without children into sen-ice. By the first of the year,
many boards will probably begin calling married men with
children. Men who previously classified as 1-B (that is, handi-
capped by minor physicial disabilities) are being reclassi-
fied into 1-A and inducted. It is believed certain that, directly
after the elections, if not before, the draft law will be ex-
tended to include 18 and 19 year olds. That, however, will
not increase the 1-A class as greatly as might be anticipated,
for the reason that a considerable percentage of the young-
sters have enlisted with the consent of their parents.
War industry has been told to start training draft train-
ing draft-exempt people to take the place of physically-fit
technicians now employed. That means that a big share
of war production will fall in the future on the shoulders of
women, or men physically unfit for military service, and on
men past draft age. That will require great readjustments,
and an immense expansion of vocational training facilities.
War industry executives, in this connection, say that women
have done surprisingly well in jobs that were once considered
the exclusive prerogatives of men, such as welding, wiring,
pipe-fitting, etc. •
The new and strict “anti-inflation” controls which the
President announced on Labor Day have long been expected.
Inflation comes when consumer purchasing power exceeds
the volume of goods available—and that is precisely what has
been happening to an ever-increasing extent in this country.
Past OPA price policy was not adequate because many com-
modities were exempt from control, and because wages, farm
prices and other costs continued to rise merrily. Excess pur-
chasing power led to the establishment of a growing “black
market,” which bootlegged prescribed or scarce goods to
the highest bidder. Many economists are convinced that in-
flation cannot be prevented unless the most stringent kind of
restraints are placed upon wages and salaries—and, in add-
ition wage-earners in the low-income as well as the higher-in-
come brackets are taxed to the limit.
Soon after the first of the year, widespread commodity
rationing is to be expected. In most warring counties, a foot!
or clothing ration coupon is far more desirable than mere
money, and that may come to pass here. *
The future of what is called “non-essential” business is
shrouded in mystery. The official list of “critical” and “essen-
tial” industries is brief, and involves only businesses which
produce war materials or basic civilian supplies and services.
The worst blow is falling upon small businesses which were
unable for one reason or another to adapt themselves to war
business or secure war orders. Thousands of businesses have
closed their doors, and it looks like a great many more will
have to follow suit in the future. The small-industry problem
is one of the worst that war has produced, and not one, des-
pite all the talk, has appeared with a solution.
How far taxation will go is any man’s guess. Some in-
fluential members of Congress are alarmed at what pending
taxes may do to the American industrial structure—the pro-
posed excess-profits taxes, for instance, might make it impos-
sible or next to impossible for some big war industries to keep
on operating as private enterprises. There is no question but
what more and more legislators are- reluctantly turning to
the sales tax as one way out. And the enforced savings idea
is also gaining headway.
These are but a few of the revolutionary influences now
at work. Never in history has war demanded so much of a na-
tion's money, resources, energies and manpower. From an eco-
nomic as well as a military point of view, this war is without
precedent. It is swiftly reaching into every home, and direct-
ly touching the life of every citizen. It is a rash man indeed
who will forecast what the ultimate consequences will be.
